  • HARQ hybrid automatic repeat request
  • the transmission of the voice data packet completely depends on transmission reliability of the MAC layer.

  • the RLC layer transmission count is a quantity of times that the RLC entity of the transmit end sends the target sequence number to the MAC entity of the transmit end.

  • the MAC entity of the receive end After step S14, the MAC entity of the receive end returns a feedback response based on the second data packet to the MAC entity of the transmit end. If the MAC entity of the receive end receives the second data packet sent by the MAC entity of the transmit end, the MAC entity of the receive end sends an acknowledgement (acknowledgement, ACK) to the MAC entity of the transmit end. If the MAC entity of the receive end does not receive the second data packet sent by the MAC entity of the transmit end, the MAC entity of the receive end sends a negative acknowledgement (negative acknowledgement, NACK) to the MAC entity of the transmit end.

For example, assuming that the MAC layer transmission threshold is preset to 10, the MAC entity of the transmit end determines whether the quantity of received negative acknowledgements that are sent by the MAC entity of the receive end and that are based on the second data packet, is greater than 10.

Because there is a HARQ mechanism at the MAC layer, the MAC entity of the transmit end sends the second data packet to the MAC entity of the receive end, provided that the quantity of NACKs that are received by the MAC entity of the transmit end, is less than the MAC layer transmission threshold.
  • Step S16 The MAC entity of the transmit end sends the target sequence number and the negative acknowledgement to the RLC entity of the transmit end.

  • the RLC entity of the transmit end determines that the RLC layer transmission count is less than the RLC layer transmission threshold, it indicates that the retransmission at the RLC layer of the transmit end can be triggered. In this case, the RLC entity of the transmit end sends the retransmission instruction based on the first data packet to the MAC entity of the transmit end.

  • the MAC entity of the transmit end may re-trigger the HARQ mechanism based on the second data packet.
  • the MAC entity of the transmit end when the quantity of the negative acknowledgements that is received by the MAC entity of the transmit end, and that is based on the second data packet, is greater than a MAC layer transmission threshold, it indicates that the second data packet at the MAC layer fails to be transmitted. Because the second data packet is generated by the first data packet, the MAC entity of the transmit end sends the target sequence number and a negative acknowledgement that are of the first data packet to the RLC entity of the transmit end, so that the RLC entity of the transmit end determines whether to trigger the retransmission at the RLC layer.
